Agenda 21 for Culture – United Cities and Local Governments’ policy statement on cultural development
Agenda 21 for Culture is the first document with a worldwide mission to support the cultural development role of cities and local governments. It was developed by the Commission for Culture of United Cities and Local Governments (the international peak body for local government) in 2006 and adopted by the Executive Bureau of UCLG in November 2010.
It advocates culture as the ‘Fourth Pillar’ of sustainable development, adding a fourth dimension to the three already existing pillars of economic viability, social inclusion and environmental balance.
The Cultural Development Network seek to promote this conception of cultural development as a significant role of local government in Victoria and Australia, and our activities focus around this goal.
